I see you: You’re a go-getter, and the going has gotten tough.
You believed if you did things the right way you’d eventually get ahead, be recognized for your unique strengths, and find some breathing room for activities you enjoy.
Instead, you feel lost—you’re worn out on life, carrying so many responsibilities that some days your mind feels like it’s going to explode. You have trouble focusing on what matters, and rarely allow yourself to have fun.
You’re used to being an action taker… or at least trying to be one.
No one tries harder, in fact.

Tell me if I’m getting this right?
More and more, you’re feeling hesitant to jump in with both feet—whatever the task at hand might be.
Perhaps You Have…
Even when you set goals and achieve you feel dissatisfied, because it never seems like enough?
Avoid certain projects like the plague and procrastinate deadlines by overfocusing on minor details you can’t control?
Cycled between overwhelm and overwork—but not on what matters to you most?
Given up on ideas just to avoid that familiar sting of embarrassment?
Suspected you’re not wired like everyone else, and worry how other people judge you—because they HAVE to know?
Wonder if there’s more to life than perpetually feeling down?
In fact, if you’re being really honest, those things combined are starting to hold you back.
The impact of trying so hard—but never quite feeling like you did what you set out to do—are:
01
Fun and play are forbidden words to you.
Somewhere along the way, you came to believe that if you relax—for even one moment—the house of cards will come tumbling down around you.
02
You’re exceptionally hard on yourself.
You feel guilty about being consistently inconsistent, and it drives you to overwork. You’re constantly doing more than what’s required, but no matter how hard you try, or how much you do—it is never good enough and never meets the standard you’ve set.
03
You’re not thriving.
When you pause long enough to think about how you feel in the grand scheme of things, you become very sad and don’t know where to turn next. It feels like a downward spiral you’d rather not investigate.
You may have tried everything attempting to:
-
Get Things Done
Using every planner on the planet. Beating yourself up for not having enough energy or willpower. Finding an accountability buddy that doesn’t understand your challenges and makes you feel worse. Expecting your needs to never change, and if a strategy worked before, believing it should always work.
-
Meet Expectations
Expecting yourself to do it all. Shaming yourself for forgetting, or needing to write things down. Believing that because a strategy worked for someone else it should work for them. Worrying so much about being nice, you end up in codependent relationships.
-
Feel Happy
Attaching to a positive identity when inside you’re hurting. Thinking only positive thoughts instead of addressing reality. Hiring professional support, but not really letting them help you. Aligning your self-worth with your success, and then pushing yourself to do more and more.
You want to believe that there is more to life… you’re just not sure how to get there from where you are.
I have good news for you—this is relatively normal for an adult with ADHD. As our lives and responsibilities grow, our old ways of coping no longer fit the bill.
And, because ADHD is primarily about executive functioning—even adults without it can experience similar challenges, because more responsibilities, means more decision-making.
Toss home-schooling and a pandemic on top, and it’s bound to feel like too much.
What if you were able to…
Leverage your unique strengths and past experiences as ways of navigating current circumstances and situations with ease and grace?
Develop a toolkit of skills that allowed you to respond (instead of reacting) to the world around you—so you always appear cool, calm, and collected?
Stop worrying about what others have (or don’t have) figured out—and could focus on what matters to you?
Set and achieve a goal without beating yourself up to do it?
Were never concerned with what others think of you and explored the things that gave you joy?
I believe you deserve to understand how your beliefs, thinking, and values impact you.
Regardless of ADHD, these tools allow you to prioritize your choices, respond effectively to the challenges you face, and ultimately feel more empowered… which translates into having fun and flourishing. And if you do have an ADHD diagnosis, or suspect you may have it—these tools become even more powerful as they help you communicate your unique strengths and needs.

Love from past clients
“Kari’s curious questions, non-judgment, and relatability made it easy for me to open up and trust I was in a safe space.
I have a loved one who was never diagnosed with ADHD, but after listening to Kari talk about ADHD I’m 99% certain has it. Kari’s wide range of knowledge about ADHD — and about having a relationship with someone who has ADHD — was amazing. So many realizations and understandings!
So much useful and helpful info about how I could be me, while honoring what my loved one needs too. What a gift it was to talk to, learn from, and process my real-life situations with Kari. I highly recommend her services.”
—Angela C.
Business Owner
“Kari helped me see that I'm not alone or defective, that there are skills and resources out there that can support me being my best self.
Prior to Kari, I suspected I might have some ADHD, but was not sure. I felt overwhelmed and not in control of my tasks.
I realized that I might have ADHD, but that I definitely have a creative side that must be nurtured.
—Ann H.
Corporate Executive
“Being part of a group showed me that ADHD shows up in many different ways and that I’m not defective because I have it.
I hoped that I could leverage the strengths ADHD gives me. I learned about my “wiring” and what works for me when I want to focus and when I want to feel calm.
The best part of working with Kari and the group is realizing the stories I make up in my head when it comes to working with others, my upbringing, why I do what I do, are just stories, and I get to decide if I want to believe them.”
—Sam H.

Hi there, I’m Kari, your coach—
After being in my presence, most people tell me they feel energized and ready to lean into life. As your ADHD coach, I would have your back, and I can help you work toward your dreams.
I know what it’s like to feel as though you’re doing all the right things and still perpetually falling just shy of the mark—I’ve been there, and I can lead you towards a better way that leverages your strengths and gives you confidence to be intentional with your time, energy, and attention.
Having ADHD can feel like life on hard mode
Between executive functioning causing decision fatigue, emotion dysregulation causing exhaustion, and overwork causing overwhelm—it really feels like you can’t ever get a break.
Imagine seeing things so differently that you feel at ease…
You’re able to focus on what matters to you and delegate (or delete!) the rest without shame, guilt, or embarrassment.
Imagine…
Allowing yourself to relax—even though you have clutter—without guilt
Being okay with saying no—because you’re saying yes to yourself and what matters to you
Feeling okay with delegating or trading tasks—and finding accepting that certain things are hard for you
Creating new stories for yourself that you are worthy—and that you belong
Not feeling shame, embarrassment, or regret that you are an imperfect human, need support, or have an ADHD brain
